invention relates toan anti-vibrating device. for motor vehicle engine's and is an improvement on the. device disclosed in Letters Patent of the United States No.- 1,523,172 issued to 'me on January 13, 1925,

the principal object of the present invention being to provide a connection of the antivibrating device with the engine which will not interfere with ready access to the engine when repairs are to be made. I

Other objects of the invention are to pro- Fig. 1 is amperspective View of an engine, parts of the chassis of the, vehicle in which the engine is employed and an antlvibrating device constructed according to my invention.

1 designates generically an engine of a type commonly employed in connection with motor vehicles and comprising the block 2,

cylinderhead .3 and waterconnection 4, the

latter projecting forwardlyofthe cylinder head.

' 5 designates a fitting whereby the hose 6 leading from the radiator (not shown) is,

coupled tothe water connection .4, being preferably attached to the water connection J by stud bolts 7.

8 designates chassis.

All of the above construction is of any ordinary type and constitutes'no part of my present invention, except as 1t is employed in combination with'the anti-vibrating device.

Assuming the engine to be constructed as described, the anti-vibrating device is assembled and used as follows:

Thehead 9 is applied horizontally to the water connection with the brace members at opposite sides of the head and turned downwardly to pass the hose through the open- 'ing 9 in the head and seat the water conemotion in the opening 10 and support the connection. The [brace members are then in turn applied to device from the water the head by setting the cushion springs in the sockets and fitting the shanks and collars into the sockets against the tension of. the springs, the tubular braces being let down against the edges of the chassis bars and heldin place by the cushion springs. I

,When both of the brace members are assembled as described, the device is adjusted by means of the nuts 17 so that the pressure and tension of'the device is balanced and the brace members. held firmly agai mt t chassis. 7. v e g H 7 When the'device is assembled with the engine as descnihed, thetensien issuflicient to v head comprising diverging legs having outwardly opening sockets, tubular brace memhers'each adapted for engaging a chassis bar at. one end, athneaded shank cslidable in each hi a cenieinb 1-, and extended intc'av head socket, a c bll'ai inethe' 'ccnl esponding head socket, a spring in each socket engaging the contained 001- dariandcashioning fitsLbrace shank, and a nut on each shankengaging the correspondlng' brace" member I he pr0v1de adjustable spread for the head-andhrace member;
